In the Hengshan base area, the Japanese army headquarters under the command of Itagaki Seishiro totaled more than 10,000 people and fought fiercely with the new regiment, and the fierce battle lasted only one day, and the new regiment under the command of Li Yunlong defended the dangerous place of Jinlong Gorge and valley mouth, the main road in and out of the Hengshan base area. After two roundabouts, he finally annihilated the elite of more than 10,000 Japanese troops commanded by Seishiro Itagaki after two roundabouts, and this result shocked the whole Jin and even all parts of the country.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka was annoyed that Seishiro Itagaki had wasted one and lost so many elites of the Japanese army. However, in the face of the threat of the new regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka still dispatched troops and prepared to secretly launch an attack on the new regiment base in Hengshan three days later.

It's just that what Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know was that after Li Yunlong and Itagaki Seishiro's Japanese troops rested for a day after the battle, they began to secretly lead the new regiment and one battalion and the independent battalion the day after tomorrow, and Sun Desheng's cavalry company and part of the new regiment artillery unit.

Peach Blossom Fort is located north of Yanshan and the Great Wall, south of the Sangqian River, and is a small road leading to Huailai. In general, large troops march and fight, and do not walk the same road. However, many of the soldiers in the new regiment were from Jin Province and neighboring provinces, and were familiar with many neighboring paths. These paths, even if they are little devils, may not be able to know. After all, the land of China is much larger than that of the Wa Kingdom.

After resting for a day, Li Yunlong set off with his troops and secretly advanced in the direction of Peach Blossom Fort. On the afternoon of the day before his departure, Zhao Gang, in the name of Li Yunlong, commanded the three main battalions and recruits and trained recruits who had stayed behind in the Hengshan base area to attack and occupy Hunyuan, Lingqiu, Guangling, Weixian, and other places where only a small number of Japanese troops were stationed, and recovered several important county towns and towns that had been surrounded by little devils around the Hengshan base area.

The actions of the new regiment made Yoshio Shinozuka in Taiyuan City immediately taken aback, and immediately summoned the chief of staff, Taro Miyano, to discuss the military situation.

Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

"Miyano-kun, what does Li Yunlong mean by this? After the battle, it was only a little more than a day, and the next afternoon began to launch a counterattack against Hunyuan and other places. What's the latest situation? Miyano-kun! After receiving an urgent report that the cities were besieged on the periphery of the Hengshan base area, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't sit still, thinking that the new group was going to make a big counterattack, and hurriedly asked Miyano Taro suspiciously.

Taro Miyano hurried to the headquarters, and without taking a sip of water, he paused: "Your Excellency, commander, according to the current situation, it is understandable that the new regiment has such a move. Hunyuan, Lingqiu, Guangling, Weixian and other towns close to the Hengshan Zhina base area, there are not many garrisons left by the imperial army. At this time, the opponent attacked and occupied in a big way, probably because he wanted to build a perimeter defense line of his base. In this way, once the imperial army launched a large-scale attack on the new regiment base area of Hengshan again, Li Yunlong would have the outer defense line to block the cities and buy some time for defense. Your Excellency, Commander, need not worry. ”。

"I always feel that something is wrong, and Li Yunlong's move may not only be to recover these towns and establish a perimeter defense line."

Miyano Taro frowned, and then said in a low voice: "Your Excellency the commander means that Li Yunlong has a conspiracy?" ”。

"That's nature!" Yoshio Shinozuka pointed to the huge military map on the table of the headquarters and said: "From the current point of view, in all parts of our Jin Province, there are already most of the Jin Sui Army, the first part of the National Army and most of the Eighth Route Army have attacked the royal garrisons in various parts of our country. There is a military situation everywhere that asks for help and urgency, Li Yunlong does not hurry up to rest at this time, and so quickly commands his troops to attack the periphery of Hengshan, the intention is not ordinary, we have to guard against it. ”。

"Your Excellency Commander, the 20,000 imperial troops that have been mobilized now are still gathering from all over the country to Pingxingguan. Now, Hunyuan, Lingqiu, Guangling, Weixian and other cities have been lost. We're in a hurry now! Taro Miyano said with a wry smile.

Yoshio Shinozuka was in a bad mood when he heard this, but he was not happy, and at this time, if he wanted to launch another onslaught on the Hengshan base as soon as possible, time was also impatient.

Thinking of this, the old devil was a little depressed, and suddenly said to Miyano Taro: "Order the troops withdrawn from the imperial army in Hunyuan and other places to assemble in the direction of Pingxingguan." ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, do your bidding."

Taro Miyano paused heavily, and then hurried away to deploy.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already led the new regiment and the first battalion and the independent battalion Zhou Hua's headquarters, a cavalry company and an artillery corps totaling more than 1,500 people.

Even if he was killed, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know that Li Yunlong would lead his troops to attack Beiping again before Yoshio Shinozuka mobilized heavy troops to besiege the Hengshan base again. If Beiping is attacked by a new group to the city, it will be a slap in the face of the little devil.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka dispatched troops, and Li Yunlong commanded Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Hua and others, who had already entered the vicinity of Peach Blossom Fort and hidden.

Peach Blossom Fort is just a small fort with a small area. But it was impossible for the new regiment to go along the Sangqian River to attack Zhuolu and Xuanhua line. Taking this road, it is easy to be discovered by the Japanese army, after all, the little devil still has air superiority, and the advantage of aerial reconnaissance made Li Yunlong decide to take the mountain trail from Wei County to Taohuabao to Huailai after discussing with Zhao Gang.

This line was very hidden, and for the new regiment, which was skilled in mountain warfare, it was not a problem to run through the mountains.

At this time, Li Yunlong and others were secretly observing in the woods less than 300 meters west of Peach Blossom Castle.

"Commander, the investigation is clear. There is a Japanese squad in Peach Blossom Castle, and there is also a company of puppet soldiers. It is estimated that the total strength of the army is about two hundred and twenty or thirty men, and the fort wall is not high, so it is not a problem for us to easily take it. When Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others were observing the situation of the enemy army in Taohuabao together, Duan Peng, the special combat team who had gone out to investigate, withdrew with a few scouts and reported to Li Yunlong.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded, and then beckoned Zhang Dabiao and the others to squat down, and discussed: "Judging from the situation brought back by Duan Peng's reconnaissance, the Japanese puppet army in Peach Blossom Fort does not have many troops. But there is a squad of Japanese troops, so it is necessary to fight quickly. By the way, Duan Peng, does Peach Blossom Fort have a telephone line to contact the outside world? ”。

"Report to the head of the group, there is one, but we can easily cut it off." Duan Peng replied.

Li Yunlong began to order: "In this way, all the special combat teams will be dispatched, and together with Zhou Hua's independent battalion, they will cleanly solve the enemy in Peach Blossom Fort." Da Biao, your battalion is responsible for the bottom line, and give me a Japanese puppet army that will not fall into full annihilation and try to escape. ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Hua and others responded in a low voice, and then went out to prepare.
